Nicole Kidman has broken her silence on her divorce from Keith Urban in a glossy magazine interview accompanied by a lingerie photoshoot.

Kidman and Urban, both 58, were married for 19 years before announcing their shock separation in September last year. Their divorce was finalized in January.

Both have been tight-lipped about the split.

In her Variety interview, Kidman said she is now focused on their family and ‘keeping them as is’.

‘What I’m grateful for is my family, and keeping them as is, and moving forward. That’s that.

‘I’m staying in a place of, “We are a family,” and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women,’ she said.

Kidman and Urban have two daughters: 17-year-old Sunday Rose and 15-year-old Faith Margaret.

The Australian actress also addressed her surprise divorce from country singer Keith Urban, whom she was married to from 2006 until last year.

She said lovingly of them: ‘I was raised to be able to mix in any circles, to really operate where everyone is equal and sit in all walks of life. I came from very socially conscious parents. We would always have people staying at our house. There was just a lot of rigorous conversation and exposure to many, many things.

‘We’re all very different, but we’re deeply connected and close. My daughter is in Paris right now working for Dior.’

When asked if she was ‘doing all right’ since the separation, the red-headed siren said, ‘I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.’

[Last year] I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell. Now I’m in a place of saying, “2026. Here we go.”

After her divorce, she traveled with her family.

‘I went to Antarctica. We’re going to head to the Galapagos and then hike Machu Picchu. I took my sister, nieces and nephews and loads of friends on a cruise. We met so many good people that we didn’t know,’ said Kidman.

‘We saw penguins and sea lions. I’ve worked so hard since I was 14 on this exploration of the human spirit, and I’ve loved being global.

‘I’ve gone to the Algerian border with Werner Herzog to ride camels. My kids have gotten to live in Morocco and see so much more of what the world is. The different tastes, smells, languages, ideas. All three of us have done seven continents.’

‘What I’m grateful for is my family, and keeping them as is, and moving forward. That’s that. Everything else I don’t discuss out of respect,’ noted the Oscar-winning actress

She has a number of projects to promote this year.

Kidman is starring in Scarpetta on Prime Video, which premieres today. She plays the medical examiner from Patricia Cornwell’s crime books and co-produces the TV series.

In the fall, she will feature in Practical Magic 2, alongside Sandra Bullock.

She is now filming the third season of Lioness, from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan. Her costars are Zoe Saldana and Morgan Freeman.

Kidman said she did a second Practical Magic film to work with Bullock.

‘I love Sandy. I love her. And we’re so different. I’m like [makes a wild noise with her mouth] and she’s so measured and together. We’re like sisters. I have so much protection and love for her. We also have incredible chemistry.

‘We produce differently. She’s incredibly hands-on, and I love delegating. We have different skill sets that become complementary. It’s amazing that we still know each other. Joey King and the new cast are amazing, and Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are coming back.’

And she had fun on Scarpetta: ‘It’s interesting taking it out to a true crime audience. I’m just beginning to understand the genre. I’ve never done a crime show like this, and there’s such a fan base for the books.

‘I loved the autopsy scenes. I can actually perform an autopsy now. I have a medical background; I watched a lot of medical films growing up. I don’t have a problem with blood.’

The star also talked about the death of her mother after the writer mentioned he recently lost his mom, too.

‘There’s still pain. We’re motherless now,’ said the ex-wife of Tom Cruise.

Kidman’s mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, died in September 2024 at the age of 84. The news was shared while Kidman was at the Venice Film Festival to accept an award for her role in Babygirl. She missed the ceremony to be with her family.

The star revealed she hopes to live her life to the fullest for her mom.

‘My mother came from a generation where she couldn’t fulfill her intellectual and professional ambition. She was incredibly bright and didn’t come from a family that had the means to give her the path to create her dreams. So I’m trying to carry that forward,’ she said.

When asked if she see any signs from her mom in her daily life, Kidman replied, ‘I see ladybugs; that was my mom’s thing. Ladybugs! I do that too!

‘I said that to my daughter the other day. We saw one and I said, “Grandmama’s here!” My daughter looked at me like I was crazy and said, “No, Mom. That’s a ladybug.” I said, “Absolutely not. It’s your grandmother.”

‘Whether it’s true or not, it’s soothing. I’ll accept that.’
